"No Equal In The World®" and "The Ultimate In Protection &
Performance®" are more than just trademarked slogans. Prolong's
Anti-Friction Metal Treatment (AFMT™) advanced technology is
unique worldwide.
The AFMT™ Technology
Prolong's AFMT™ technology
doesn't just enhance motor oils,
transmission fluids, gear oils, and
other lubricants. The AFMT™
formula actually treats and
modifies the surface of the metal.
AFMT™ is a highly specialized
extreme-pressure property
lubricant that is formulated by
chemically treating paraffin-based

temperatures and pressures.
Prolong AFMT™ is formulated with a unique long-chain molecule
achieving significant chemical stability. This process is so stable that
it is responsible for achieving the highest possible "1a" rating in
independent laboratory testing designed to determine the anticorrosive characteristics of lubricants.
How it Works
Motor oils, transmission
fluids and gear oils are
flowing lubricants that
provide a film barrier
between metal surfaces
pressing or rubbing
together. The greater
the film strength, the
better the oil. However,
in extreme pressure
metal-to-metal areas,
the film strength of oil is
seriously thinned and is often completely squeezed out.
On the other hand, Prolong is a bonding lubricant. Prolong AFMT™
interacts with metal surfaces in a molecular and chemical process to
create a protective buffer on the surface of the metal. This is not a
film or coating over the metal. Molecules in the AFMT™ formula are
polarized and actually bond with the metal surface. The layer of
AFMT™ molecules is activated by extreme pressure and heat,
meaning that Prolong lubrication performs best right where it is
needed most! The result, AFMT™ significantly reduces harmful
friction and heat.
To demonstrate the anti-friction capability of the Prolong
AFMT™ formula, these bearings were subjected to a standard
lubricity test in a bench cross-axis friction-testing machine.
These stationary hardened steel bearings were pressed
against a spinning lubricated metal race. The deeply scarred
bearing on the right shows the typical wear without AFMT™
protection. The bearing on the left shows typical wear when
Prolong Engine Treatment is added to the motor oil.
The Proof
Prolong AFMT™ technology has gone through a variety of
independent laboratory tests to prove its superior extreme pressure
lubrication capabilities. Here are just some of the test results from
strict, industry-accepted automotive lubrication testing procedures.

Reduces Metal Wear
Metal surfaces feel smooth, but under a microscope, they have tiny
valleys and peaks on the surface. The "peaks" can catch or snag as
metal surfaces push and slide against one another, causing particles
of metal to break away, leaving the metal surface to become
damaged and vulnerable. When these metal particles or shavings are
found in drained oil, it is a sign of metal fatigue and damage. The
metal particles can also cause additional harm as they circulate
through the oil, rubbing against metal parts and impairing the
efficiency of filters.
The protective layer formed by
Prolong molecules lubricates the
raised metal surfaces and
through an extreme lubricating
film pressure fills in the "valleys"
by smoothing out the peaks,
diminishing the effects of metalto-metal friction. As this
sacrificial protective layer of
AFMT™ is worn away, it is
constantly replaced by new

within the oil. When the energy

needed for optimum
performance and fuel economy. Prolong AFMT™ makes the metal
more slippery and reduces the friction that causes metal fatigue and
steals horsepower.
Prolong Versus the Competition
How does Prolong stand up against the competition? Take a look:
It is important to know that Prolong products DO NOT contain the
harmful chemical, metal or plastic elements found in the technologies
of competitive products.

Reduces Heat and Friction
This process also helps eliminate the harmful heat produced by
friction. High oil temperatures accelerate oxidation and the formation
of acids, peroxide, carbon residue, sludge and varnish formations. As
oil temperature rises, oxidation takes place, the oil becomes
increasingly corrosive, and oil viscosity decreases resulting in a loss
of lubrication. Prolong AFMT™ helps reduce heat so that the oil can
maintain maximum protection performance.
Additionally, premium dispersants are added to Prolong lubricants to
help remove carbon build-up and sludge residue. These
contaminates are then suspended in the oil and eliminated at the
next oil change. Removing these contaminants maximizes
performance and horsepower.

PTFE's or Teflon (A registered trademark of DuPont) is a
great product for cookware, provided the right utensils are
used. But metal-to-metal contact can cause flakes that aren't
safe in food… or engines. Be careful with products based on
this technology. Clogging of essential filters and lubrication
flow can become a serious problem. PTFE resins can leave
harmful deposits and residue. Solid particles also break
down with heat rather than helping reduce temperatures.
Copper, zinc, graphite and "molys" (molybdenum)
technologies do not provide extreme pressure friction
protection. They break down rather than provide protection
from harmful heat and can introduce harmful solid particles
into the lubrication system of the engine.
Unstable chlorinated-paraffin ("CP") presents the potential
for corrosion when heated. CP lubrication is very effective,
but in the heated conditions of an engine, the short-chain
molecular properties can break down, forming hydrochloric
acid. Prolong has a stable technology not found in any other
product that is extremely efficient and safe. This technology
has been time tested (over 18 years) and in millions of
engines.
Solvents are sometimes advertised as lubricants. They
generally contain mineral oils, which decrease the viscosity
of the flowing lubricant. Solvents may be cleaners, and a
cleaner engine offers some improvement in performance,
but solvents or cleaners do not provide lubrication protection
and can thin the motor or gear oil. More importantly solvents
breakdown lubricity and viscosity.
Most thickeners, sometimes called stabilizers, replacing a
quart or more of oil do not contain the essential additive
packages in today's premium motor oils and are actually
robbing the engine of 20-25% of those cleaning and
antioxidant benefits.
Prolong and motor oils
Remember that today's natural and synthetic motor oils and
transmission fluids are better than ever, but they do have their
limitations. Prolong encourages users to follow manufacturer's
recommendations regarding oil weights and service schedules.
Prolong products do not alter the viscosity of the motor oil or
transmission fluid, but form a lubrication "partnership" by providing
bonding lubrication to surfaces subject to extreme pressure friction, or
where flowing lubrication may not even be present. Prolong
technology helps turn ordinary natural or synthetic oils into a "Super
Lubricant".
